Welcome to the 891st episode of Neon Jazz, where we kick things off with the seasoned brilliance of Dann Zinn, joined by an incredible lineup including Rachel Z and Jeff Denson, showcasing tracks from his 2024 release, Two Roads. From there, we honor the late, great David Lynch—an artistic visionary we lost at the dawn of 2025—by revisiting the haunting, iconic music of his trusted collaborator, Angelo Badalamenti, from the Twin Peaks universe. As we press on, this fresh year brings a vibrant wave of talent with new music from Jacob Wutzke, Kasan Belgrave, Neff Irizarry, Bruce Harris, Ehud Asherie, and Steve Smith. We also shine a spotlight on the dynamic voices of Eugenie Jones, Liz Cole, and Maria Puga Lareo, delivering compelling artistry. To wind down the hour, we delve into the evocative duo project of Dennis Mitcheltree and Johannes Wallmann, before closing on a poignant note with Angelo Badalamenti's jazz-infused Twin Peaks theme—a soulful farewell to the one-of-a-kind David Lynch. Sit back, soak it in, and dig the jazz, my friends.
